I reckon we should do it as a forum ride, courier bags and cut off denim shorts. Fixed of course. At least unlike the New Oxford St ride it wouldn’t require training.
^ Pretty much that.
I watch the dots, I streetview the places, I see the demented grins in the selfies of those who have suffered (are suffering)... and it looks wild (the good kind).
Then I do a solo hundred miles or London to Brighton and back, and frankly I know I prefer the tour to the race, and remember that whilst I like the occasional mountain more than a few in a day is beyond my idea of fun. The thought of that just being one in a sequence of days is pretty vivid... it would be hell.
I know I'd scratch, in this case somewhere between CP2 and CP3 at best.
